WiMEME, INC., Offers iPhone™ for Best Race Day Pic Burlingame, CA (May 8,2008) - WiMEME, Silicon Valley's revolutionary mobile photo messaging start-up, is giving away a free Apple iPhone™ for the best mobile race-day picture submitted during the upcoming ING Bay to Breakers™ race. The famed annual 12K will be run May 18, in San Francisco. The iPhone winner will be announced the following day at www.wimeme.com. "With hundreds of thousands atteending this iconic Bay Area event, it's a great way to demonstrate our service. We commemoratively brand digital photos users send from their camera -hones at outdoor events. It's simple you send a photo from an event, or near the event, you get back a commemorative photo with an anctionable offer," explained Skip Roncal, WiMEME's CEO. "In this case, you send your best race-day photo to b2b@wimeme.com and you're immediately registered for a chance to win an Apple iPhone." Roncal' team created a uniquely themed digital frame for the photo submissions - but to see it, you'll have to send a race-day photo to b2b@wimeme.com from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 18 to get your photo commemoratiively framed and sent back to your phone. Race-day pictures can be of any type; WiMEME is just looking for a really great picture, says Roncal, that captures the essence of San Francisco's Mardi Gras style race day event. In the meantime, use demo@wimeme.com to see how the service works. Roncal and his small team recently launched their beta-test of WiMEME's game-changing patented technology. Their software brands photos sent from camera phones with commemorative digital frames, and returns that photo via email along with actionable offers; senders can also personalize messages, share with friends and online albums, and automatically organize mobile photos using an application developed on Facebook. Roncal and co-founder David Wipper are former siebel Systems executives; the San Mateo-based company was bought by Oracle Corp., of Redwood City, in 2006. Roncal can be reached at 650-430-5769 or sroncal@wimeme.com. "We monetize user generated content now by commemoratively branding photos and returning actionable offers. We are very interested in supporting causes like Boys and Girls Clubs of America, VFoundation, LiveStrong, 18in08, AfricanAmerican.org and many others," notes Roncal. "The best way to show off our technology is to let folks use it for free and reward their use". Today, Americans send 80 million photo messages a month, and mobile advertising is projected to grow from $1 billion to $6.5 billion by 2012. "We've developed a technology independent service to capitalize on both of these trends", he said. For more information, please contact: DaveSaltman, V.P. Marketing, 626.399.3283, dsaltman@wimeme.com
